That's a great looking dash. Way to go!

Thanks Spanky. I have a couple more features to add to the back side of it. Hoping to get that done And some paint on it today.

I made 2 of these and glassed then to the back on my dash panel. I left the original flat metal 'dash' for want of a better word; and used these to mount the new curved one to it. It means that a little effort and the whole curved dash, instruments and wiring can be released and dropped to sort out any problems.

Thing is with just one speedo and a couple of idiot lights mounted in it I could use a multi connector so the whole dash assembly can be taken out in a few minutes.

Gerry - mine has the 4 studs and the 5 weatherpack connectors and I’ll be able to pull the hole thing out. I might have to loosening the steering column a bit too. Shouldn’t be too bad but hopefully everything works nicely and I don’t have to take it out for issues!
Im going to add a few metal straps to hold the harness in place and a couple led lights in the back side of mine yet. I’ll post some more pics once it’s all done.

See after your initial post of "dont have the skills" you have come out looking really good and with answers and solutions to everything

 

[dwsatt21]

You are 100% right Gerry. Thanks for the motivation. I'm really happy with how this one turned out.

 

[Gerry]

My pleasure. Good to see you happy

You only have to make yourself happy as no one else can. If you always think positive--you will find a way to do whatever you can think of and you wont break the bank doing it.

A lot of the things i am doing to my t bucket are firsts for me. I am making many mistakes. But ; i correct them & move on.

Have some parts hanging in my paint booth. Ha ha. The black paint has informed me that my dash will need a light skim of filler at some point but that’s for later.

Looking good and moving right along . . .

Black paint is about as unforgiving as it gets. Gotta be on your game

Painting on the lawn works just fine as long as the wind is light and the sprinklers don't come on.

 

[dwsatt21]

I’ll have a better paint job done later. This one was pretty much for rust prevention.

Don't forget the parts in the dish washer!

Don’t forget the spray paint in the oven... it’s hard to clean up when it explodes. Don’t ask!

 

[dwsatt21]

Man this thing looks good. It’s all done, besides some body work and final paint but that will come after some shakedown time. now I’m working on running the wires to it. I have that close to being done too but ran out of wire. Need to run to Napa and pick up a few more rolls.

Now that's some wiring Porn is I ever saw any !!!

 

[dwsatt21]

Thanks Indycars. I’m pretty proud of how it turned out.

Yaw, I guess so !!!

Just got my air intake buttoned up. I will need to make a little extension for my maf sensor but that about a 10 minute job once I have the right terminals and connectors. I will have to move my radiator forward just a bit.

 

[DonnyRay]

WOW !!
